Alternative motorcycle
I have my SG with a 103 engine. I like it but I am looking seriously at the new SE Street Glide. I also have an SE Fat Bob. It has a noisy engine, that 110. No problems at 5000 miles but I hate that noise. Don't want to pay SE SG money and have to listen to that racket. Soooooooooo.... while I'm still going to check in to the 2011 SE SG, I want to look at other brands. Victory seems to be getting good press and I ain't married to HD. Even the yamaha touring bike looks good but I can't live with their 4 gallon tank, not on a cruiser. I sure I will get some grief from the "real HD riders" but I'm sure many of us started out on some other brand. Opinions?

I was looking at the Stratoliner Midnight. It is a tourer. 4.5 gallons. Which bike are you referring to that has a 6 gallon tank?

Harleys are often imitated these days. I still don't see them duplicated. That's my problem with Jap bikes and Victorys. They are just phoney knockoffs. A guy once told me his Jap bike looked so much like a Harley, that a lot of people couldn't tell the difference. I told him you can go downtown and find something that looks like a woman. Me, I gotta have the real thing. It's your choice, you gotta live with yourself.

You might consider Kawasaki's big 2000cc Tourer. Kind of on the order of a Road King, but with a lot more Poop! My Sig says how I feel about HD's, but it doesn't bother me a bit if anyone else wants to ride another brand. Have at it, and enjoy the ride.
Of course, I know guys that would buy any other bike than a Harley just because it wasn't a Harley.
